1992 190E 2.6 - please help me id this tranmission line (picture)

[Hans B]

Folks,

Removed the oil pan cover a couple of days ago and see that this flexible rubber line just behind the radiator is leaking (see picture). It's wrapped in some coiled wire and I believe if I replace this short line, my ATF leak problem will be solved. Does anyone know what this piece is called? Or do I need to remove it and take it to the dealer? Thanks for any input.

That looks like the front transmission cooler line going into the radiator. When buying the part you must specify which line, there are two lines.

Great - thanks so much. A follow-up question - BMW has something called an ETK CD - it shows all the parts and diagrams for a specific model, along with all part numbers. In fact, someone has posted it for free access here: www.realoem.com.

Does Mercedes have something analogous? That would be tremendously helpful.

Thanks.
Hans
